A Canberra foodie's adventures
A few years ago, one of my work colleagues told me she had found the best sourdough hot cross buns in Canberra at Danny’s Bakery in Narrabundah. I always remembered this, Easter after Easter, but never managed to get down there to try some. She reminded me about it again last week so I made […] Read more…
A friend organised dinner at Camellia Restaurant, a Sri Lankan restaurant in Manuka. I’ve heard and read good things about this place and was eager to try it out on a Friday night. The menu is relatively short with one page of entrees, one page of mains and a third of a page of dessert. […] Read more…
My partner organised my birthday dinner with a group of friends at Morks. I love Morks! We all partook in the 8 course tasting menu ($95 without wine, $125 with wine). After my last experience with the tasting menu at the previous Florey location, I was keen to try out the updated menu. Course 1 […] Read more…
I went to a birthday dinner at Zierholz Premium Brewery in Fyshwick. Since I don’t drink, the brewery was never high on my list of places to visit until I had a closer look at the menu. Zierholz offers German foods such as pork knuckle, pork belly, sausages and schnitty with sides of sauerkraut and […] Read more…
Remedy by Lonsdale Street Roasters and Morks Thai recently introduced a joint breakfast collaboration at the Kingston Foreshore. Located out the front of Remedy, a table and BBQ are set up to cook the day’s simple menu. There are only two options – both $10 each. These vertical gardens are everywhere now. I like it!

I walked past Paleo Perfection Espresso Bar the other week, and after finding its Facebook page, I found out it was opening today. As mentioned in my previous post, they had a stall at the Bus Depot Markets selling chocolates, muffins and other sweet things. Their signage states no dairy, grain, gluten, peanut, cane sugar […] Read more…
My friends and I were keen to try Canberra’s #1 restaurant, Aubergine, rated by the Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Food Guide. The restaurant’s simple website only provides address details and a sample menu. On the night, we were greeted warmly by a waiter and shown to our seats. I was immediately asked if I wanted […] Read more…
During the Christmas shutdown period, I decided it was time to shop around for a new mattress. Halfway through browsing the many mattress shops in Fyshwick, I drove past Elaine’s Gourmet Pies (located at the bend of Wollongong Street) which was the only food shop open during that period. The sign claims these are award […] Read more…
Mrs Sackville recently opened up at the Kingston Foreshore. It’s not along the main strip by the lake, but faces the Bus Depot markets. A lovely framed menu stands outside. Upon entering, the first thing you notice is the mismatched furniture – wooden tables, cute cushions on the seats and benches, then glass tables and […] Read more…
The Rum Bar opened up last Friday and I only knew about it when I walked past after having some $1 oysters at C Dine Bar. The place was packed out and when I walked inside to look at a menu, I noticed there were complimentary tapas that night – a foodie’s dream! However, the […] Read more…
